Vortex AC Operating Manual
NEVER OVERFILL A STORAGE CONTAINER. The safest approach
is to use a DOT certified storage cylinder with a “Tank Full” cutoff switch
that is properly connected to the Vortex AC’s optional Over Fill
Protection Circuit. If the storage cylinder does not have a cutoff switch,
or if PUSH-PULL OPERATION is used, the use of a refrigerant scale, such
as the INFICON Wey-TEK™, is required to prevent overfill. OVERFILLED
TANKS CAN RUPTURE EXPLOSIVELY!
OPEN SERVICE OR CYLINDER VALVES SLOWLY to ensure that all
connections are tight and there is no danger.
DISCONNECT POWER before moving or servicing the INFICON
Vortex AC.
This unit should be opened only by a technically qualified person
who has been trained in basic electronics and refrigeration. The risk of
ELECTRIC SHOCK and exposure to HOT compressor parts is possible if
the unit is opened.
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, EXTENSION CORDS SHOULD
NOT BE USED with this equipment as the wiring can overheat under
conditions of high current draw. If an extension cord is absolutely
necessary, its length should be as short as possible and it should
contain size 16 AWG or larger wiring.
FLAMMABLE ENVIRONMENTS ARE DANGEROUS when any
machine is used because motors and switches can generate sparks.
This equipment should be used in locations with mechanical ventilation
providing at least four air changes per hour, or the equipment should be
located at least 18” above the floor. DO NOT USE THIS EQUIPMENT IN
THE VICINITY OF SPILLED OR OPEN CONTAINERS OF GASOLINE OR
ANY OTHER FLAMMABLE LIQUID.
